Tens of Thousands March Against SB 1070 in Phoenix
Tens of thousands of people marched in Phoenix today against SB 1070, Arizona’s recently passed anti-immigrant bill that could lead to racial profiling, and makes some federal immigration rules crimes in the state of Arizona. The five mile march was followed by a rally at the state capitol with speakers and music, and was the largest demonstration in Arizona since the controversial law was signed into law in late April.
